Sim Simma, who got the keys to my... llama?

Today Fantasy Tavern is paying tribute to The Sims on their 25th anniversary. Join me as I discuss playing through the latest updates and special events now available on Sims 4, as well as a pop culture history lesson on how this groundbreaking game was created and rose through the ranks to become of the most popular and bestselling computer & video games series of all time. The Sims walked so that other simulation games could run. The attention to detail mixed with chaotically enjoyable gameplay is still unmatched.

It's so cold and snowy outside, and catching up on gaming & podcasts sounds like the perfect remedy to your winter hibernation blahs. So settle in with a Sims-inspired drink or cocktail, reticulate those splines, and make sure to stretch well. This episode will have you saying WooHoo all day and night!

Thank you to this episode's Super Special Secret Surprise Guest... Dave Toms!

Welcome to a new episode of Fantasy Tavern, where we explore the far-flung corners of fandoms that have made sci-fi one of the most dynamic and enduring genres of all time.

From the passionate debates over Star Trek versus Star Wars to the thriving communities of Doctor Who and The X-Files, science fiction fandoms are full of creativity, camaraderie, and boundless imagination. However, they are not without their toxicity and gatekeeping.

In this episode, we’ll take a closer look at what fuels these fandoms, how they’ve evolved with technology and social progress, and what makes them such a powerful force in shaping pop culture.

So, buckle up—it's going to be a wild ride-y wide-y across the multiverse!
